Bid On The Ultimate Halo 3 Package: Unless You’re Poor

To commemorate the release of Halo 3, and to support the Boys and Girls Club, the folks at Microsoft are holding a special auction where Halo fanatics everywhere can bid on what is being dubbed as the “ultimate Halo 3 package.” What’s so ultimate about it you ask? Check out the list of contents after the jump.

The package includes:

• The ONLY Xbox 360 Limited Edition Halo 3 console that has been personally signed by Bill Gates.
• The ONLY Limited Edition Halo 3 Zune 30 GB media player personally signed by J Allard.
• The entire Halo Trilogy: Two copies of Halo 3 (Legendary Edition and Standard Edition), plus the Halo Triple Pack for Xbox� (Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2 and the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack)
• Xbox 360 HD DVD player.
• Rare special aluminum storage case with over $400 worth of accessories (two Limited Edition Halo 3 Wireless Controllers with an exclusive Todd McFarlane Collectable Figurine, Messenger Kit, HDMI AV cable, extra 120 GB hard drive, and a Halo 3 T-shirt).

The total retail value of the package is around $2000, but you will have to shell out a lot more than that if you want to get your hands on this gear. Bidding is at around $9000 already and the auction doesn’t end until October 4th. � Sean Fallon
